    The bacteria that cause pneumonia are contagious and are usually found in fluid from the mouth or nose of an infected person. Illness can spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes on a person, by sharing drinking glasses and eating utensils, and when a person touches the used tissues or handkerchiefs of an infected person.

    Usually, people will get a cold or that type of symptomology, and most likely will not get pneumonia .... unless they have a compromised immune system ....
